In Selena Gomez's case, some say she may have dropped the ultimate ring hint as a lyrical Easter egg in her 2015 pop song, Good For You.

"I'm on my marquise diamonds, I'm a marquise diamond," the 32-year-old sings in the steamy track. "Could even make that Tiffany jealous."

When the American actress-singer announced her engagement to American record producer-songwriter Benny Blanco on Dec 11, she posted photos of herself wearing a marquise diamond engagement ring.

In a video clip posted to her Instagram Stories, Gomez showed off the ring on a video call, prompting screams of joy from the caller on her phone.

"I said yes to this," she exclaims in the clip. "It's so pretty."

On Instagram, she posted a slideshow of photos from the proposal, showing her beaming at her ring as she sat on a picnic blanket with Taco Bell takeout.

She wrote "forever begins now" in the caption.
